Lady Chatterley's Lover, the Unexpurgated Edition

In Lady Chatterley's Lover Lawrence argues for individual regeneration which can be found only through the relationship between man and woman (and he asserts sometimes man and man). Love and personal relationships are the threads that bind this novel together. Lawrence explores a wide range of different types of relationships. The reader sees the brutal bullying relationship between Mellors and his wife Bertha who punishes him by preventing his pleasure.
